1991: Starting Prop before match on CoDroneEDU

Hello

Last year students were allowed to start the props on the CoDrone to help with the 3-4 second launch delay. Is this still allowed? We have not found any place that states you can not.

There are no rules that prohibit teams from having the propellers spinning at the start of the match, therefore this is legal as long as the drone is on the ground in a legal starting position.
